Books in the Historic Kitchens series

The Colonial Kitchen: Australia 1788-1901 explores the food and cookery of colonial Australians, challenging the prevailing stereotypes of them as dreadful cooks and uncouth eaters through a nuanced exploration of their kitchens, gardens and dining rooms, and the social and cultural systems that shaped their culinary practices.

This work introduces readers to German culinary history in the Reformation era from the perspective of social history, and explores food and eating in terms of their economic, social, and religious ramifications. Food production, preparation, and consumption are in the foreground. Recipes and other relevant sources are provided in translation.
